Carrying on a motorcycle

[BehindBlueI's]

YOU are more dangerous!

I just look like it because of the hat.

I'm not sure why anyone would pretend to have an accidental discharge.

...

Because it makes gun ownership look more dangerous.

Attention seeker?

Could be either.

So with all this being said, whats the general consensus on "gun pockets" found in many riding jackets and vests?

I had a leather vest given to me by a friend that used to ride. Vests aren't my style. It had a holster in it for a short barreled 38 Special. I gave it to my Mother-n-law so she could dress biker chick. She carries with it sometimes. I prefer a shoulder holster when riding. I don't plan on shooting from the bike. No sense in fighting when you can leave.

I kind of like the idea of someone's mom carrying a snubby .38 in a leather biker vest.

I have those pockets on my vest, but I never use them for my EDC. I have placeD an extra EDC mag and a 9mm derringer in there, though.

I ask because I ride year round...and my edc is a G19 with an alien gear IWB holster. It's a PIA to get to sometimes when you have to wear chaps so if I needed it I could be in a hard spot. Thought about my S&W 66-7 inside the gun pocket in my jacket.

Yeah, I use an OWB holster when I ride, because the vest conceals the pistol. For colder rides, the heated gear adds even more layers, but if I ever need it while I'm bundled up, there is always the go to in the saddle bag.

True, my saddle bags don't lock unfortunately so I try not to leave my firearm in there unless I'm at work (semi-secured lot with surveillance cameras). The way my OWB holster and my chaps fit it probably wouldn't work very well, I may give it a try though when I go out tomorrow.

I carry AIWB always. Works great in the car or on the bike.
